Lesson Description: Standard: 5.NR.3.3 Model and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Lesson Outcomes: In this lesson, students will learn and practice how to add fractions with unlike denominators. The attached video that students will first watch includes mathematical vocabulary and steps on how to Add Fractions with Unlike Denominators. Students will be presented with 4 steps: find a common denominator, rename the fractions, add, and simplify. After watching the video, students will complete a 10 question quiz. The quiz will challenge students to consider the steps to adding fractions with unlike denominators and solving problems based on the information from the video. After the students have completed the quiz, 3 additional resources will be provided for students to continue learning and practicing. The first resource is a video that will provide more instruction for students who may need it. The instructions also challenge students to listen for any new information. The second resource is a game that will support students by providing visuals when adding fractions with unlike denominators. The third resource is a game that will challenge students with mixed number answers. At the end of this lesson, students are expected to recall the 4 steps to adding fractions with unlike denominators and solve problems.
